You can find some analysis on the other individual position posts (linked below), but this page is purely for your "cheat sheet" purposes. We based the rankings on standard 5x5 formats. To new players, that means you have five offensive categories (batting average, runs, home runs, RBI, stolen bases) and five pitching categories (wins, strikeouts, saves, ERA, WHIP). Individual position rankings* with analysis: Catcher / First Base / Second Base / Shortstop / Third Base / Outfield / Starting Pitcher / Relief Pitcher
